7 Ups And 5 Downs From WWE Crown Jewel 2021

Ups...

7. Another Win For the Hometown Hero

WWE Crown Jewel 2021 Mansoor Mustafa Ali

Had this feud gotten the proper build that was referenced in this week’s Raw Ups/Downs column, this match could have been elevated and really jumped off the screen.

As it stands, the Mustafa Ali/Mansoor match was fine. It was a pretty decent little match, perfectly serviceable and would have worked as a featured match on Raw or as it did as a minor PPV bout. Mansoor fired up nicely, put together a few good sequences, and captured the win with his slingshot neckbreaker.

Maybe Mansoor should issue a challenge for the WWE Championship at the next Saudi PPV. He seems to have a pretty good track record at these events.
